Dahlia Daze

Still experimenting with making new backgrounds for flowers. For this background I used a pink gradient, contours and polar co-ordinates to get some texture and light effects.
V2 is an alternative frame.

Superb detail on the dahlia but the b/g really adds a different dimension to this.... i'm torn between the two versions so i'm not going to attempt to choose lol.... great experiment and I'm loving the different variations you're spoiling us with ... well done.

Well photographed Dahlias and very innovative b/grounds Pamela.
I think the darker framing of V2 works best for me as it helps to project the centre piece.I really like that.
In V1 I think the heavy darker outer border tends to enclose and take away the impact of the image.If you alternate between the two images V2 fairly jumps at you. Clever work.

The standard of these images is amazing, such clarity and beautiful colouring. I prefer the second one, purely because I think the darker border draws the eye to the flower more. This would make an excellent birthday/greeting card.
